A dumping ground? When Stagecoach North East have got or are due over 100 new electric buses?
Maybe but that's because of the government funding... when was the last time, we got new buses without government funding?
The NE will still be a dumping ground, what's going to replace the last of the gas buses at Sunderland - 2nd hand buses - they aren't going to buy new buses to replace them.
Its going to get to the point where the loads of buses at once will need to be replaced, no doubt we'll get younger buses from other depots.
